Compact High-Resolution BluOS Streaming for Existing Hi-Fi Systems
The Bluesound NODE NANO brings BluOS high-resolution streaming and ESS SABRE digital conversion to virtually any stereo system in an exceptionally compact chassis. Its ESS ES9039Q2M DAC supports music up to 24-bit/192kHz along with DSD256 playback, providing a straightforward way to add streaming services, internet radio, network libraries and multi-room playback to an integrated amplifier, receiver, preamplifier or powered-speaker system.
Stereo RCA outputs allow the NODE NANO to use its internal DAC, while coaxial, optical and USB Audio 2.0 outputs make it equally useful as a dedicated digital transport for an external DAC. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready integration provide extensive network flexibility, while the compact 5.6-inch-square enclosure can be placed discreetly on a shelf or mounted using its bottom-panel keyhole slot.
